Top Istanbul Hotel Reviews

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is near the main attractions and in a good location, but still quiet. The employees were very friendly, helpful, and attentive, especially Burhan who looks like Colin Farrell (some guests said Volodymyr Zelensky, lol). The breakfast was decent but didn’t have many hot options. The hotel is extremely clean and the shower has good water pressure. Overall a great stay."
